Such a test led to a presumed false positive for Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine earlier this year.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re a very accurate test. We look for the genes of the virus, and if the test is positive, we know the virus is there,\u201d IdentifySensors Biologics founder and CEO Dr. Gregory Hummer said.\n\nLike the RT-PCR test, the IdentifySensors test is molecular, but it uses a saliva sample from spit. A test reader with a sensor uses an electric current to detect COVID-19 from the sample.\n\n\u201cOurs is a self test done at home without any of these other reagents. You don\u2019t need a machine, you don\u2019t need a lab tech, it\u2019s very inexpensive and it can be done daily as many times as you need to,\u201d Hummer said.\n\nHe said the test will use a Bluetooth signal to provide accurate results within minutes to users\u2019 smart phones and to health agencies, as legally required.","article_secondary_image":[],"summer_hours":[],"winter_hours":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/identifysensors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2572"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/identifysensors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/identifysensors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/identifysensors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/identifysensors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2572"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/identifysensors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2572\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2592,"href":"https:\/\/identifysensors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2572\/revisions\/2592"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/identifysensors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/identifysensors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/identifysensors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/identifysensors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2572"},{"taxonomy":"team-department","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/identifysensors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team-department?post=2572"},{"taxonomy":"filter-tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/identifysensors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-tags?post=2572"},{"taxonomy":"team-position","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/identifysensors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team-position?post=2572"},{"taxonomy":"services","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/identifysensors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services?post=2572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
